/proc/$PID/cmdline: fixup empty ARGV case

2015-07-17T23:39:54+00:00

/proc/*/cmdline code checks if it should look at ENVP area by checking
last byte of ARGV area:

	rv = access_remote_vm(mm, arg_end - 1, &c, 1, 0);
	if (rv <= 0)
		goto out_free_page;

If ARGV is somehow made empty (by doing execve(..., NULL, ...) or
manually setting ->arg_start and ->arg_end to equal values), the decision
will be based on byte which doesn't even belong to ARGV/ENVP.

So, quickly check if ARGV area is empty and report 0 to match previous
behaviour.

 "Debug info and other statistics fixes and related enhancements"

* 'sched-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  sched/numa: Fix numa balancing stats in /proc/pid/sched

sched/stat: Expose /proc/pid/schedstat if CONFIG_SCHED_INFO=y

2015-07-04T08:04:31+00:00

Expand /proc/pid/schedstat output:

 - enable it on CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y && !CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS kernels.

 - dump all zeroes on kernels that are booted with the 'nodelayacct'
   option, which boot option disables delay accounting on
   CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT=y kernels.

fs, proc: introduce CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN

2015-06-26T00:00:37+00:00

Commit 818411616baf ("fs, proc: introduce /proc//task//children
entry") introduced the children entry for checkpoint restore and the
file is only available on kernels configured with CONFIG_EXPERT and
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

This is available in most distributions (Fedora, Debian, Ubuntu, CoreOS)
because they usually enable CONFIG_EXPERT and CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.
But Arch does not enable CONFIG_EXPERT or CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE.

However, the children proc file is useful outside of checkpoint restore.
I would like to use it in rkt.  The rkt process exec() another program
it does not control, and that other program will fork()+exec() a child
process.  I would like to find the pid of the child process from an
external tool without iterating in /proc over all processes to find
which one has a parent pid equal to rkt.

This commit introduces CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN and makes
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE select it.  This allows enabling
/proc//task//children without needing to enable
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE and CONFIG_EXPERT.

Alban tested that /proc//task//children is present when the
kernel is configured with CONFIG_PROC_CHILDREN=y but without
CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE

proc: fix PAGE_SIZE limit of /proc/$PID/cmdline

2015-06-26T00:00:37+00:00

/proc/$PID/cmdline truncates output at PAGE_SIZE. It is easy to see with

	$ cat /proc/self/cmdline $(seq 1037) 2>/dev/null

However, command line size was never limited to PAGE_SIZE but to 128 KB
and relatively recently limitation was removed altogether.

People noticed and ask questions:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/199130/how-do-i-increase-the-proc-pid-cmdline-4096-byte-limit

seq file interface is not OK, because it kmalloc's for whole output and
open + read(, 1) + sleep will pin arbitrary amounts of kernel memory.  To
not do that, limit must be imposed which is incompatible with arbitrary
sized command lines.

I apologize for hairy code, but this it direct consequence of command line
layout in memory and hacks to support things like "init [3]".

The loops are "unrolled" otherwise it is either macros which hide control
flow or functions with 7-8 arguments with equal line count.

There should be real setproctitle(2) or something.

don't pass nameidata to ->follow_link()

new ->follow_link() and ->put_link() calling conventions

2015-05-11T02:19:45+00:00

a) instead of storing the symlink body (via nd_set_link()) and returning
an opaque pointer later passed to ->put_link(), ->follow_link() _stores_
that opaque pointer (into void * passed by address by caller) and returns
the symlink body.  Returning ERR_PTR() on error, NULL on jump (procfs magic
symlinks) and pointer to symlink body for normal symlinks.  Stored pointer
is ignored in all cases except the last one.

Storing NULL for opaque pointer (or not storing it at all) means no call
of ->put_link().

b) the body used to be passed to ->put_link() implicitly (via nameidata).
Now only the opaque pointer is.  In the cases when we used the symlink body
to free stuff, ->follow_link() now should store it as opaque pointer in addition
to returning it.

The seq_printf return value, because it's frequently misused,
will eventually be converted to void.
